アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: Recent evidence suggests an association between sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and a higher risk of renal cancer. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a pharmacovigilance analysis using the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to investigate the disproportionate association between SGLT2 inhibitors and renal cancer. METHODS: We used AERSMine to mine data from FAERS, covering the period from 2014 Q1 to 2023 Q3. The control group was treated with other glucose-lowering medications (ATC-A10B). Disproportionality analysis results were performed using a proportional reporting ratio (PRR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and an information component (IC) with 95% credible interval. RESULTS: Compared to the control group, the SGLT2 inhibitor group had a higher disproportionate renal cancer reporting frequency (0.92 vs 0.27/1000 reports; PRR 3.38; 95% CI 2.68-4.25; p < 0.001) with an IC of 1.36 (0.60-2.06), comprising dapagliflozin (PRR 4.14; 2.95-5.80; p < 0.001), empagliflozin (PRR 2.74; 1.94-3.89; p < 0.001), and canagliflozin (PRR 3.56; 2.48-5.12; p < 0.001). Consistent results were obtained in the diabetes indication with the primary outcomes only for the SGLT2 inhibitors group (not individual molecule). The results of the sensitivity analysis (excluding hypertension indication or antihypertensive drugs, obesity, smoking, alpha-1 blockers, or anti-renal cancer drugs) were highly consistent with the main outcomes, indicating good robustness of the results. The results from 2004 Q1 to 2023 Q3 were similar to those from 2014 Q1 to 2023 Q3, with the exception of empagliflozin. CONCLUSION: There was a disproportionate association between SGLT2 inhibitors and renal cancer, which supports the current meta-analysis results indicating an increased risk of renal cancer associated with SGLT2 inhibitors. |
